Well I've narrowed down the problem towards disk quotas. It turns out that when I disable quotas, everything works fine. When I first setup quotas on /home, I did not place any quota on the user nor group, with the intention of placing for one later. I think I know the specific problems but I'm not that sure. 1) Does file/dir ownership of another user counts? I have a single directory with files with someone else ownership. 2) Does quotas have problem with this kind of thing? 3) I ran file quota.user and the output says it's a text file without line terminators but when I did less on it, all I got is a repetitive sequence of '@@@' character. When I tried to edit it, all I got is a blank screen. Is this a sign of the quota.user/quota.group is corrupted? When I ran these tests, I removed userquota,groupquota from /home's fstab entry. Please help. Thanks in advance. -- Thank you for your time, Ihsan __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
